- I pulled up the NASA channel a minute ago, and it was an astronaut opening a can of tuna. - David May 27, 08:18 3

Just when you thought The Fast and the Furious couldn't get any worse. -- (link) - Shaun May 27, 07:07 [youtube] 8
- The voices make it hysterical but it looks fine otherwise. - Will Hunting May 27, 07:24
- That's just it. The Fast and Furious series never got worse. It maintained being very frustratingly middle-of-the-road watchable. Pun intended. -- nm* - Qale May 27, 07:14
- Honestly that looks kind of fun and possibly more realistic than the last couple of movies. -- nm - Reagen May 27, 07:13 5
  - It doesn't look like a current-gen console game though -- nm - Guigue May 27, 07:22 4
    - What it really looks like is something you'd have to plug $2 into in a movie theater arcade. -- nm - Reagen May 27, 07:39
    - Especially for 2020. This is going to one of those licensed games that's so terrible and buggy that it'll probably be an unplayable mess. -- nm - Shaun May 27, 07:25 2

  - I was playing pretty consistently until I had a mysterious event wipe out about 25% of my population, and since then I've kind of fallen off -- nm - rollo May 27, 07:45 1
    - Ah, the death wave. All of the cims are the same age when they move in so if you expand population quickly that tends to happen. - spamlet May 27, 08:02
Tropical Storm Bertha has formed near the coast of South Carolina, NHC says. -- (link) - decline May 27, 07:00 11

  - It's not, though. Hurricane season officially starts June 1. -- nm - loosilu May 27, 07:29 5
    - Given there have been 2 other ‘B’ storms prior to June 1st going back to World War 2, the answer is yes , this is uncommon - Will Hunting May 27, 07:41 2

- 2 down, 14 named storms to go? -- nm* - Qale May 27, 07:17 2
  - There is no way to take a Hurricane named " Bertha" seriously - so she had to go. -- nm - Pippy - the pippiest May 27, 07:50

  - Cause you want to be the Snapple of streaming services? What?! -- nm - Pippy - the pippiest May 27, 07:53
- They will be adding more stuff next month. I think they are waiting for streaming deals to expire. - sycor May 27, 07:15
- To varying degrees I feel that way about all of these new services. Peacock, eh. Even Disney+ requires you to want to just keep rewatching stuff - pmb May 27, 07:11 1
  - Peacock would have had the Olympics which was all I needed to be honest. -- nm - MDH May 27, 07:25
My replacement BBQ all arrived this morning. I've done the replacement, but my god, the mosquitoes were brutal. -- nm - Shaun May 27, 06:49 5
